Collapsed Lung

Mom's left lung was collapsed; that's why she's been so weak, so tired, and
unable to eat.  I don't know how long Mom will remain in the ICU, but that's
the best place for her to be right now.  Of course, she's re-intubated and back
on the respirator, so that means (for now) she's sedated.  Becky and Benita were
permitted to see Mom around 7:30 yesterday evening, and she was heavily
sedated and unable to communicate.  I'll be going to the Clinic tomorrow and
will post more information later in the day.  Today marks the 21st day of Mom's
hospital stay...unbelievable.
